Is only playing a single role the best way to climb?

I'm trying to learn the best way to climb here,

I've been playing LoL since season 2 and have slowly climbed my way up the ladder every year but this year I started in gold and stayed in gold, and I really cannot figure out why. I'm thinking I might be trying to be TOO good at the game? I can play every champion fairly decently. (Like I know their basic mechanics, play-styles, itemization and so on) but I was only able to get to gold 1 and then back slid all the way down to Gold 4 with a very bad end of season push for Plat.

Since I understand the fundamentals of the game, setting up slow pushes, champion match ups, itemization, vision and timing for neutral objections and rotations. I'm wondering if it's better to just focus down on one lane only instead of trying to be the jack of all trades? I linked to my champion performance because maybe someone can see between the lines better than I can

I'm open to criticism, if you think you see something, feel free to mention it!

Main one role and have second role that you are decent at. Main 2-3 champs in your role is what I have been told from others. Just try and have some fun with it.

This is League, fun is not an option!

good luck, I can't ever seem to get the same role twice unless its support.(ppl hate supporting)

I'd probably go with one role in mind, but be flexible to the situation.

Get really, really good with 1 champion, and have a backup you're confident in for when your main is banned or taken from you

Haha I've tried this and I actually lose the most games while supporting statistically xD

Now that's just sad :( I for one, have actually won most of mine as the support (especially this season)

You need to improve then. A good support can solo carry. I had over 90 % winrate with Kayle support in Gold- upto Platinum 3 - with her ult we could win every teamfight.

Well it's also just not my style of play. No point in climbing if I'm not enjoying my role.

That or pick one champion who can go multiple places.
